The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Little Rivers by Henry van Dyke: well as for ours. And now look at him, as he lies there on the
green leaves. Broad back; small head tapering to a point; clean,
shining sides with a few black spots on them; it is a fish fresh-
run from the sea, in perfect condition, and that is the reason why
he has given such good sport.
We must try for another before we go back. Again fortune favours
us, and at eleven o'clock we pole up the river to the camp with two
good salmon in the canoe. Hardly have we laid them away in the
ice-box, when Favonius comes dropping down from Patapedia with
three fish, one of them a twenty-four pounder. And so the
morning's work is done.
